Business Builder: 10 Business English email acronyms
Here are 10 frequently used email acronyms (shortened letter versions of phrases) to learn as a priority. These will help you understand your email communication more easily, and speed up your Business English emailing!
NRN – No Response Needed: This is used in emails where the sender does not need you to reply.
EOM – End Of Message: This is used in the subject line of an email to show you there is no more to read in the main message.
PRB… Please reply by…: This is used to give you a deadline for your response. For example, PRB Wed 13:00.
WFH – Work From Home: This signifies that someone is working from home and not their normal office.
Y/N? – Yes or No?: The sender is looking for a yes or no reply from you.
OOO – Out Of Office: This person is not going to be in the office (I am OOO on Thursday).
EOD, EOW, EOP – End Of Day, End Of Week, End Of Play: This is used to give deadlines. Please submit your report by EOW. End of play means the end of the working day.
FYI – For Your Information: The sender is giving you information that they think you might need to know.
If you are working in an English-speaking workplace, or your work with international business colleagues, I recommend learning these email phrases as soon as possible (ASAP!). They are used very often, and will help you communicate more easily in your daily work.
